Doggy Day Care in Natividad

“Susan is amazing! A little background on me, I got my baby Kyro as an ESA, and he’s really been that for me. When I’m away from him I suffer from really bad separation anxiety, meaning I can’t stop thinking of what he might be doing and I even get extremely emotional to the point I can’t stop crying. I recently went to Vegas to visit my brother and I’m usually able to fly with Kyro since he’s my ESA, but because of the whole pandemic I thought it would be best for Kyro to stay with a sitter back home. The entire trip I was crying, I was just an emotional wreck and I just thinking about how Kyro was doing. The sitter wasn’t being responsive to me, I would ask for pictures and would get a reply 2 days later. It was just a bad experience for both of us, it made my anxiety worst and caused me to come back early. When I came back I found out he was being caged during his entire stay despite me telling the sitter that he didn't do good in cages. I found out because he even hurt himself trying to get out of the cage. Well after that I was obviously very skeptical leaving him with another sitter but after Kyro’s stay with Susan I have no doubt in my mind that Kyro and I will be going back with her. As soon as Kyro got home from Susan’s he went straight to sleep, he was worn out from all the playing her and her dog. I highly recommend her! She sent out pictures of Kyro’s stay which is always a plus. We did a meet and greet prior to the sitting and she made me feel comfortable from the get go. She explained her routine and introduced us to her pets, she also showed us her backyard and let me tell you my Kyro loved it! There’s plenty of space and grass area. Something that I was worried about was Kyro’s meals, he only does raw food and she was nice enough to accommodate to his needs and provide the attention he requires during his meal time. Also she’s very responsive through messages which always makes it easier on someone with my situation. Thanks Susan, not only are you helping me take care of Kyro but you’re also helping me ease my separation anxiety I have with him.”

“I have a kitten who is my life, but with Citlali, I have felt very safe (she takes great care of her) if you are looking for a person to take care of and give love to your friend, it is her. :)”

“Kind and responsive to messaging. Wonderful, fenced yard with shade that pets have access to.”

“Virginia is a great dog sitter. Always letting me know updates on my pup. I will be using her services again. I highly recommend her . 👌”

“Last minute trip; Gabriel took my boys. Usually with a day away they would come back a bit smelly from stress at a new place. Not this time; they were happy, playful with no sign of stress! I’ve found my new doggy daycare!”

“I can’t praise Lily’s pet care services enough! She took amazing care of my sweet girl, Karma, treating her like her own. Lily was always punctual, professional, and completely in tune with Karma’s needs—whether it was her long walks, special diet, or extra playtime to keep her tail wagging. She even sent me adorable updates and photos of Karma having a blast! Lily’s love for animals is so clear, and Karma was over the moon every time Lily came by. Highly recommend Lily’s pet care—truly top-notch! 5 stars! 🐾”

“Jacqueline watched our pup for a few hours while we passed through town so we could visit the aquarium. Zulie was in high spirits when we picked her up and slept the whole way home. We are very appreciative of Jacqueline's accommodation on short notice.”

“Brianna is great with pets. She is responsible, reliable, loving, patient, passionate about her job. Brianna handles pet care like if it's her own, giving all the time and attention your fur-baby may need until your return. I definitely recommend Brianna for any pet service needed.”

“It was my first time using Rover and Julie was prompt with responses. I knew she was in good hands with the pictures reassuring me. I would recommend Julie.”

“Mike & Lynne are Salinas’ best kept secret! They are every dog owner’s dream dog watchers! They are always home, they love going on walks and are super sweet! They have a way of making us and our dog Zuzu feel like family. My husband and I enjoyed talking with them and Zuzu had a great time climbing over Mike, who laid on the grass to play with her. They were very communicative with us before and during Zuzu’s stay. I would def recommend them and we will be taking Zuzu back!”

About: I live in a very dog friendly community. Across the street from my house is a big grass area for the dogs to play. Down the street is a dog park and a baseball field to play fetch and for the dogs to have time to just be dogs. Because I live so close to old Fort Ord there are numerous trails within walking distance from my house to take the pups on an adventure. During the week I work at a barn where I get to bring the dogs to work with me, so your pet would be with me 24/7. My dogs are extremely friendly and I’ve fostered dogs in the past. After work I usually take my dogs to the beach or on a long walk. They get fed am and pm and will be flexible to your dogs needs. They are more than welcome to sleep on the bed with me or use one of the two massive dog beds I have. Let’s not forget about the abundance of dog toys I have to keep everyone happy!!! I work at a barn so the dogs come to work with me. While working, they get free range of the office. Throughout the day I take them out numerous times for potty brakes. After work we go on a long walk or play ball down the street from from my house in the field. I have two small backyards the dogs have full access to. My larger pup doesn’t like to use the yards to go potty so I take him on routine walks to do his business. Again, I do work, but the pups always come with me so they are never left home alone.

“Awesome to have Soldier Boy stay with Ashlyn and her family. She was so good to boy and sent me photos of him during his visit ! Ty again Ashlyn”

“Hello, Chantel is a reliable, dependable and trustable person with pets. Very loving toward our fur babies. I wouldn’t trust anyone other than her to be around our dogs. She is very responsible and loyal when it comes to babysitting our pets. She is 100 percent loyal and very loving when it comes to pets. She is a great dog walker and a trainer. We are gym owners and she is our dog sitter. We wouldn’t trade her for anything. She is very flexible with time and takes her job serious. Where ever she goes she will be loved .”

“Ashton was a very good Pet caregiver. He took care of my dog very well while I was away from vacation and felt like I left my dog in good hands.”

“Great communication and always stays in touch! Love entrusting my baby with her because I know she will get the best care!”

About: Most of my life I grew up caring for animals. I love animals and I treat them with great care. I volunteered at a veterinarian Hospital for two years. I walk dogs for Hitchcock Road in Salinas and also volunteer at the SPCA! I have worked with a variety of types of animals with different temperaments. I am excited to help your furry family member any way that I can! Weekends are open! I can also walk pets after 6pm or early in the mornings at 8 am. Let me know the date and I can certainly make adjustments! I will play with your pet, make sure your pet is doing great. Show the love a surrogate mother would show to a family member. And I will take them on long walks! For cats I would make sure they get plenty of toys to play with and have a relaxing environment.
